Alternatively, I just got mail from Bob Ippolito indicating that he'd
be happy to hand over the domain to the PSF. It's got quite a bit more
on it than Python distros, and it's a fairly popular resource for Mac
users I imagine. However macports.org seems to have more Python stuff,
and has a more recent version of 2.5. (2.5.2). Perhaps we should link
to macports.org instead?

Apparently they are serving up an ancient version of Python 2.5. The
Google App Engine has a minor issue in 2.5 that's solved in 2.5.1, but
that is apparently not available from that site. Perhaps we can
contribute more recent Mac versions, or provide them directly on
python.org? (The Downloads -> Macintosh page points to pythonmac.org,
which means lots of All Engine users download this old version.)
I'd be happy to arrange things with a Mac expert to put the Mac binaries on
the download site.
